	🎸 ♥ 3:27pm captain beef fart: enjoying this show while remotely completing workplace violence prevention training
	🎸 ♥ 3:27pm Jason from Houston: LOL
	🎸 ♥ 3:27pm Ken From Hyde Park: My blood ran cold!
	♥ 3:27pm tim from washington: I liked the blown out song followed by J Geils.
	🎸 ♥ 3:28pm Jason from Houston: Very fine!
	3:28pm Nicholas from Montclair: You gotta get that '80s sound of a snare drum filled with milk.
	3:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Remote violence is what drones are for. ...Devastating...
	3:28pm UFOspecialist: CENTERFOLD!!!
	♥ 3:29pm tim from washington: The Smurfs ripped of J Geils for their stupid theme song.
	♥ 3:29pm mariano: Hey Scott, folks! Great song, "Centerfold." The video hasn't aged really well, but it's a great song.
	♥ 3:29pm prof.fuzz: You sure that's "milk," Nicholas from Montclair???
	♥ 3:29pm The Oscar: Been busy working, but digging the show! Like anyone who's worked at a used record store in the Boston area in the past half decade, I have MORE than my share of Peter Wolf stories. Hearing this song will always make me laugh.
	♥ 3:30pm tim from washington: @Capt - I think remote work might be the key in workplace violence prevention.
	♥ 3:30pm Kelly Jones: So fucking good....
	♥ 3:30pm The Oscar: *half century that is!
	♥ 3:30pm dave wuz here: it's the woobah goobah
	♥ 3:30pm Smurph: What's that about my theme song?
	3:31pm Nicholas from Montclair: @prof.fuzz. Yes! Because of VH1's Pop-up Videos. But also: Ewwwww....
	♥ 3:31pm tim from washington: Centerfold is creeping mighty close to 1984.
	♥ 3:31pm tim from washington: @Smurph - you heard me, pal!
	🎸 ♥ 3:32pm captain beef fart: remote work is the key to solving lots of things
	3:33pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Did Irwin retire or is he on vacation?
	♥ 3:35pm tim from washington: Hold up, I'm confused. You posed for a centerfold, Scott?
	♥ 3:36pm mariano: No centerfolds from my school as far as I know, but one girl I went to junior high and high school with is doing life for murdering her husband, as I found out one night watching one of those true-crime programs.
	♥ 3:36pm prof.fuzz: Didn't "Freeze Frame" come out in 1981? "Centerfold" also appeared on "Showtime," their 1982 live album.
	🎸 ♥ 3:36pm steveo: Oof, the 7th grade social studies teacher at our school was reportedly in Playboy (never any evidence presented)
	♥ 3:36pm The Oscar: If you spend any time walking around Harvard Square you're still more likely than not to encounter Mr. Wolf. As a friend of mine once put it, "He dresses to make you say, 'Is that guy famous?'"
	🎸 ♥ 3:36pm captain beef fart: Haven't had a sniffle since Jan '20, less traffic/smog, home for deliveries/contractors, don't have to wear shoes, less dry cleaning, save money on food... I do miss seeing a few people but not that bad.
	🎸 ♥ 3:37pm Bas NL: Narrow escape @mariano!
	♥ 3:37pm tim from washington: Thanks for clarifying, Scott. You were the angel in the centerfold.
	3:38pm TimSF: @mariano....did your classmate get voted "most likely to..." for anything?
	🎸 ♥ 3:39pm efd: I vote efd-core, but I'm biased.
	3:40pm Sky Falcon: EFD4Life
	♥ 3:40pm Scott Williams: yours is the one and only J&TDs spin in modern memory, EFD
	♥ 3:40pm HyperDose: airhorn noise ensues 🔥🎸
	♥ 3:41pm tim from washington: although this has city written all over it, it's definitely efd-core.
	♥ 3:41pm prof.fuzz: metro EFD core
	🎸 ♥ 3:41pm Stevel: efd-core.
	🎸 ♥ 3:41pm efd: I think this gets grandfathered in to the '70s on the grounds that it takes a couple of years for each decade to find its footing, and this came out in 1981.
	♥ 3:42pm mariano: Bas NL: I watched the show because it took place in Shreveport, where my folks and I moved to for a few years, thinking "Maybe I'll recognize some buildings or one of the people," but then I was like "Holy shit, that's [name redacted]!" TimSF: Not as far as I know, and while we were never friends, we were always cool with each other, the kind of acquaintance you'd say "hi" to if you happened to see them in public. Really shocked me. She wasn't a wild child or anything like that. Just a normal student. Or so it seemed...
	3:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: efd would be the authority on that... Hasn't mentioned the City particularly... Not PowerPop - but can almost see that neighborhood from there... City all over it...there is some Brooce in it isn't there...
	3:44pm rich the greeb: P-Funk we’re fantastic last month at Central Park summer stage. I was working there so I got to see both sets!
	♥ 3:44pm Scott Williams: prof.fuzz, right you are! I went on memory b/c my glasses were over there. 1981
	♥ 3:44pm tim from washington: Although this song mentions butt and it rocks, it is definitely not Butt Rock,
	🎸 ♥ 3:44pm Alvy Singer: Free Your Mind is a mix of the Temptations, MC5 and Jimi Hendrix.
	🎸 ♥ 3:45pm Rev. Turnip Druid: who has carrot cake? good lord, i am LATE.
	3:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& Elevators with 'Kingdom of Heaven'...
	♥ 3:46pm prof.fuzz: @Tim: truth.
	🎸 ♥ 3:47pm steveo: My ass is enjoying this selection
	🎸 ♥ 3:50pm Alvy Singer: Bernie Worrell nailing it with the distorted keyboard.
	3:52pm carrots: oh snap!
	3:53pm Nicholas from Montclair: In reference to the Charles Albright track: If blown-out DI fuzz is your game, give Tiger in my Tank's "Cigarette Royalty" a listen.
	♥ 4:01pm tim from washington: No offense to Duane but this set is PURE FUNK!
	♥ 4:02pm Passaic River Blues: @Tim: same thoughts. Loving the funk!
	♥ 4:04pm Scott Williams: Thanks guys, I trust you are shaking your rumps some.
	4:06pm Jeff in Brooklyn: Hi Scott - great set! Work from home allows more than chair dancing!
	♥ 4:08pm Scott Williams: Thanks Jeff!
	♥ 4:08pm HyperDose: Well, those who have rumps to shake, Scott. I really gotta make squats & lunges part of my daily routine again. 😩
	♥ 4:10pm tim from washington: Even Feeding Tube is getting in on the funk!
	♥ 4:11pm Scott Williams: Rhyton has definitely been known to give up the funk
	🎸 ♥ 4:12pm Bas NL: Right on this by Rhyton!
	🎸 ♥ 4:17pm I k e: Well, I was definitely shaking my bulbous squid eating dough in a cotton sack!
	♥ 4:17pm tim from washington: Inspired and inspiring set!
	🎸 ♥ 4:19pm Bas NL: Sounds like a hard workout, @I k e!
	♥ 4:20pm Stanley: Stanley Stood Still. I'm good at that.
	4:20pm Si: This Musarrat track is glorious
	🎸 ♥ 4:21pm Bas NL: Great cover!
	♥ 4:22pm tim from washington: Hahahahahahahaha! Again inspired and inspiring!
	🎸 ♥ 4:22pm Krys O.: Extra nice segue!
	♥ 4:22pm Scott Williams: Hahaa, thanks Tim & Krys!
	♥ 4:23pm Roberto: I think Phil once said this was the first song Genesis recorded in an attempt to attract more women to their shows.
	♥ 4:23pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: I thought this was a Phil Collins song, not Genesis. Interesting, Roberto.
	♥ 4:23pm Roberto: He was growing tired of al the bro shows.
	🎸 ♥ 4:24pm steveo: 1978! Ahead of its time
	♥ 4:24pm Scott Williams: @Roberto, apropos of nothing it's the one that hooked me!
	4:24pm Jeremy: Instagram anthem?
	🎸 ♥ 4:24pm Krys O.: A juxtaposition of seeming incongruities, yet it flowed quite well.
	♥ 4:24pm Roberto: All, not Al. Although maybe too many people named Al showed up.
	🎸 ♥ 4:24pm Bas NL: My 7'' copy of Follow You Follow Me is played GREY.
	🎸 ♥ 4:24pm karlward: I hope we're going to hear some Phil Collins / Scott interview
	♥ 4:25pm Scott Williams: @karlward, that was one of the greats, huh?!
	🎸 ♥ 4:25pm karlward: It's the only Phil Collins content I can stand
	4:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Dispensable. Can't even chalk it up to their MTV period in '78.
	♥ 4:29pm Stanley: Hi Scott!
	♥ 4:29pm HyperDose: A terrifying picture to paint!
	4:29pm vj pussycat: mtv started in 81. hi y'all
	4:29pm judy from croton: You, Scott, are doing the absolute. Our daughter Maddy was married on Saturday, and I can’t tell you…
	4:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: vj - is why they can't even.
	4:31pm vj pussycat: i got that rr, sorry if it sounded like a correction
	🎸 ♥ 4:32pm pgalub: Hey Scott and everyone! I think who ever lost the "sus4 battle of 'follow you...'" got their way on "Invisible Touch." ;)
	4:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: vj - likewise then ! :D
	4:33pm judy from croton: Joy abounds
	♥ 4:33pm Nickelbackfan1000: Big shoutout to Scott and Joe and the Friday afternoon volunteer team! Oh yass!
	4:33pm vj pussycat: i enjoyed that deconstruction of fyfm chorus
	🎸 ♥ 4:34pm karlward: Scott's interview with Phil Fucking Collins here: www.wfmu.org...
	4:35pm mb: Rocking it. Glad i missed that Genesis. Little too soft for my Weds afternoon. But a fine selection nonethless.
	♥ 4:38pm Scott Williams: @Judy, congrats!!
	4:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Apologies - I'm a little allergic to a certain %age of Mainstream 70s & 80s... You see - I'm so old I actually had to live thru it. So I don't find it cutely ironic to dabble in when bored or anything like that. But nevermind.
	♥ 4:39pm Scott Williams: @Nickelbackfan1000 twas great to meet you guys! Looking forward to the next
	♥ 4:39pm Scott Williams: PETE!
	🎸 ♥ 4:40pm Baja Joe: Jammer? Yup, jammer.
	🎸 ♥ 4:40pm steveo: that must have been a good show, karl, because later on I made the comment "harp jam!"
	🎸 ♥ 4:41pm steveo: also, Birds of Maya: hot damn!
	🎸 ♥ 4:41pm Brian in UK: Hello Scott & groovers.
	🎸 ♥ 4:42pm JG: Sometimes I forget how much I love this show, but every Wednesday about an hour in , if I'm able to be listening, I realize that Scott is killing it. Today no exception
	🎸 ♥ 4:42pm karlward: I think this is a harp jam
	🎸 ♥ 4:42pm karlward: A round of Harp for everyone, on me!
	4:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: No one else playing this for me & that's for sure.
	♥ 4:43pm tim from washington: Did Birds of Maya get Mitch Mitchell to drum for them?
	4:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Birds of Maya' also an Elevators phrase (if no one else's)...
	🎸 ♥ 4:45pm Krys O.: I have catholic tastes and I'm not ashamed. I can appreciate post -Gabriel Genesis AND a song like Terror Couple Kill Colonel by Bauhaus. And so on.
	♥ 4:46pm Scott Williams: aww gee JG - danke!
	4:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Rule 1.) Never be ashamed of what you like. ...What you don't like - a little more complicated...
	♥ 4:47pm tim from washington: Man, you're on fire today, Scott!
	🎸 ♥ 4:48pm Rev. Turnip Druid: you should see someone about that.... that fire you're on. Sir.
	🎸 ♥ 4:48pm JG: It is certainly possible to occasionally hear something you've heard 10,000 times and were for a time bored with, and realize what you at first liked about it.
	4:49pm vj pussycat: syd <3
	🎸 ♥ 4:49pm JG: Pink Floyd! Yes!
	🎸 ♥ 4:50pm JG: Or is this THE Pink Floyd?
	4:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: JG good point. Goes with the admitting. Not Hitchcock actually Syd !!
	4:50pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Syd on his own was awesome.
	♥ 4:51pm Roberto: This is The Pink Floyd and THE Pink Floyd.
	4:51pm vj pussycat: pink floyd 1.0
	4:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oh - hot button stuff how much Waters & Gilmour helped or hindered Syd with his Solo recordings. Easy to armchair call about schizophrenic friends but I dunno... Coulda been presented as less haphazard is their suggestion...
	4:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Floyd certainly playing 'Vegetable Man' close to its chest that's clear...
	🎸 ♥ 5:00pm Rev. Turnip Druid: insanely great.
	🎸 ♥ 5:06pm JG: Some great music only sounds great or awesome on a good stereo. And you don't really get too much out of it on a shitty little speaker. Other great music sounds great no matter what or despite what you're listening on. Here, we get the former mostly. A theme of sorts of the Scott Williams Show, I think, and why I love it.
	🎸 ♥ 5:07pm JG: Wednesday afternoons go down easy, but they ain't casual
	5:08pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: This ambient stuff is easy to listen to compared to noise.
	5:10pm bukowski.: Damn!!! ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
	🎸 ♥ 5:20pm steveo: what about ambient noise, though, Neil? :)
	5:20pm prudy: talk about blast from the past...
	♥ 5:20pm mariano: Omg, I love this song from Godspell! There's a great YouTube vid of that scene from the movie. The movie's actually a great document of NYC in the 70s, it's shot in lots of places around the city.
	5:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Godspell - thot it was somewhere between Pro & Music of Mind Control...
	🎸 ♥ 5:21pm dale: bell records - i have a creepy anthony newley album on bell, 'for you.' kinda pornographic.
	5:21pm prudy: mariano, i'll have to check it out...
	🎸 ♥ 5:21pm dale: this is pretty stellar.
	5:23pm Jeff formerly from Rahway: This is my FAVORITE Buck Owens tune. Thanks for playing! It!
	🎸 ♥ 5:25pm dale: don rich was a big part of that sound.
	♥ 5:25pm Nickelbackfan1000: who would ever want to be found!
	5:28pm haha: "All for the Best" finale on WTC -- eerie
	5:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Buck & Don story : cocaineandrhinestones.com...
	🎸 ♥ 5:29pm Krys O.: Lynne Thigpen was the chief in Where in the World is Carmen San Diego show.
	🎸 ♥ 5:29pm steveo: just bookmarked godspell on the wtc at www.youtube.com...
	🎸 ♥ 5:32pm Krys O.: The cast of SCTV honed their chops in the Canadian touring company of Godspell.
	🎸 ♥ 5:32pm dale: they sure are dancing close to that railing that's only 18 inches tall.
	5:35pm Doug in JC: There was a short drop to another level, IIRC
	🎸 ♥ 5:35pm dale: if the moody blues had bagged the voice and just extended the opening which was the best part.
	5:37pm Androu B.: Hello everyone! @Krys O. Didn't they also consequently satirize it on their TV program?
	5:38pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Needles CA is insanely hot. Our AC died in our car. It will get up to 118 tomorrow! It reminds me of Ridgecrest, CA.
	🎸 ♥ 5:38pm dale: rev rab - thanks for the buck/don link.
	5:39pm Davis: wow
	♥ 5:40pm tim from washington: Wow, what if the synth songs on VH's 1984 were like that Blue Jean Tyranny song?
	🎸 ♥ 5:41pm Krys O.: I wanna bust some dance moves to this on Essex Avenue in Glen Ridge!
	🎸 ♥ 5:42pm Rev. Turnip Druid: I hate that van halen's synth was the OB-8. I had one and its sonic potential was HUGE. Love that machine. Shame it became famous for Jump... eh...
	🎸 ♥ 5:42pm Krys O.: Yes! I adore this L'Rain!
	5:43pm vj pussycat: @wild neil - are you in needles? that place is always insanely hot.
	5:44pm Androu B.: @Wild Neil Did you folks get shaken by the Ridgedale & Šearles Valley earthquakes from Independence Day weekend 2 years ago?
	🎸 ♥ 5:45pm steveo: Currently 122 in Death Valley. But it's a dry heat
	5:47pm ledzeppelinsucks: Who gives a shit if anything is a dry heat?
	♥ 5:48pm McGroovey: It's about 85 in Meridian, Mississippi. Very pleasant in the shade
	5:48pm Doug in JC: Because you can hardly feel it. It’s like a warm breath on your neck. Sweet and sensitive, dry heat.
	🎸 ♥ 5:48pm steveo: lol idk it's pretty humid in brooklyn at the moment
	♥ 5:49pm tim from washington: I get Return to Forever and Weather Report confused. I enjoyed that.
	🎸 ♥ 5:51pm Rev. Turnip Druid: the dry heat thing is real. it means in the shade, there's an actual difference. vs. swampland, where shade don't mean squat
	5:52pm Fredericks: This Snow Palms piece sounds like Kraftwerk, if the got really worked up.
	🎸 ♥ 5:52pm Rev. Turnip Druid: also: the confusion between RtF and Weather Report, if i'm not mistaken, is a universal thing. The one thing that all people have in common. Also, this piece here. THIS ONE. HERE.
	♥ 5:52pm McGroovey: When I was 4 and hadn't yet mastered my R's, i remember wondering why we have the same word for cow and car. No, really, I remember that. And the eureka moment that came later...
	🎸 ♥ 5:55pm Krys O.: Thank you, Scott!
	♥ 5:56pm maestroso: This Snow Palms piece is awesome.
	♥ 5:56pm Doobois: Oh, that was just beautiful, Scott. Snow Palms! Gorgeous, and it made me feel so good.
	♥ 5:56pm tim from washington: Maybe I should look at my Weather Report RTF conundrum differently. Is there a difference between the two? ;) Thanks a million for the great great great show today, Scott!
	5:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: If Minnie wasn't like the sweetest person ever ...maybe don't tell me.
	♥ 5:57pm Scott Williams: well that oughtta do it, thanks everyone! Have a great week, see ya next week!
	🎸 ♥ 5:57pm steveo: Instant classic awesome Scott show -- thanks for making it
	5:57pm Fredericks: Then Steve Reich and Popol Vuh showed up to help complete the piece. I must give it a star.
	♥ 5:57pm mariano: Thank you, Scott!
	🎸 ♥ 5:57pm chris in the redwoods: thanks, Scott! what a shoooo!
	♥ 5:57pm Scott Williams: danke steveo! see you soon, I trust
	5:57pm Will: Scott, this show had soul and Minnie was the perfect cap.
	♥ 5:57pm Richy4619: fine work, sir!
	🎸 ♥ 5:58pm Rev. Turnip Druid: everything is nice now.
	5:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: TY Always DJ SW Sir.
	5:58pm seth from muddy creek: Oh snap this is the joint
	🎸 ♥ 5:58pm Bas NL: Thanks for the funky entertainment Scott!

	6:02pm mb: ty Senor Williams
	♥ 9:48am bit rot: I briefly fought the urge to allow my teenage self click the star next to Centerfold but then decided there was no shame in it. Centerfold has been favorited!

	🎸 ♥ 3:27pm Jason from Houston: LOL
	🎸 ♥ 3:27pm Ken From Hyde Park: My blood ran cold!
	♥ 3:27pm tim from washington: I liked the blown out song followed by J Geils.
	🎸 ♥ 3:28pm Jason from Houston: Very fine!
	3:28pm Nicholas from Montclair: You gotta get that '80s sound of a snare drum filled with milk.
	3:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Remote violence is what drones are for. ...Devastating...
	3:28pm UFOspecialist: CENTERFOLD!!!
	♥ 3:29pm tim from washington: The Smurfs ripped of J Geils for their stupid theme song.
	♥ 3:29pm mariano: Hey Scott, folks! Great song, "Centerfold." The video hasn't aged really well, but it's a great song.
	♥ 3:29pm prof.fuzz: You sure that's "milk," Nicholas from Montclair???
	♥ 3:29pm The Oscar: Been busy working, but digging the show! Like anyone who's worked at a used record store in the Boston area in the past half decade, I have MORE than my share of Peter Wolf stories. Hearing this song will always make me laugh.
	♥ 3:30pm tim from washington: @Capt - I think remote work might be the key in workplace violence prevention.
	♥ 3:30pm Kelly Jones: So fucking good....
	♥ 3:30pm The Oscar: *half century that is!
	♥ 3:30pm dave wuz here: it's the woobah goobah
	♥ 3:30pm Smurph: What's that about my theme song?
	3:31pm Nicholas from Montclair: @prof.fuzz. Yes! Because of VH1's Pop-up Videos. But also: Ewwwww....
	♥ 3:31pm tim from washington: Centerfold is creeping mighty close to 1984.
	♥ 3:31pm tim from washington: @Smurph - you heard me, pal!
	🎸 ♥ 3:32pm captain beef fart: remote work is the key to solving lots of things
	3:33pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Did Irwin retire or is he on vacation?
	♥ 3:35pm tim from washington: Hold up, I'm confused. You posed for a centerfold, Scott?
	♥ 3:36pm mariano: No centerfolds from my school as far as I know, but one girl I went to junior high and high school with is doing life for murdering her husband, as I found out one night watching one of those true-crime programs.
	♥ 3:36pm prof.fuzz: Didn't "Freeze Frame" come out in 1981? "Centerfold" also appeared on "Showtime," their 1982 live album.
	🎸 ♥ 3:36pm steveo: Oof, the 7th grade social studies teacher at our school was reportedly in Playboy (never any evidence presented)
	♥ 3:36pm The Oscar: If you spend any time walking around Harvard Square you're still more likely than not to encounter Mr. Wolf. As a friend of mine once put it, "He dresses to make you say, 'Is that guy famous?'"
	🎸 ♥ 3:36pm captain beef fart: Haven't had a sniffle since Jan '20, less traffic/smog, home for deliveries/contractors, don't have to wear shoes, less dry cleaning, save money on food... I do miss seeing a few people but not that bad.
	🎸 ♥ 3:37pm Bas NL: Narrow escape @mariano!
	♥ 3:37pm tim from washington: Thanks for clarifying, Scott. You were the angel in the centerfold.
	3:38pm TimSF: @mariano....did your classmate get voted "most likely to..." for anything?
	🎸 ♥ 3:39pm efd: I vote efd-core, but I'm biased.
	3:40pm Sky Falcon: EFD4Life
	♥ 3:40pm Scott Williams: yours is the one and only J&TDs spin in modern memory, EFD
	♥ 3:40pm HyperDose: airhorn noise ensues 🔥🎸
	♥ 3:41pm tim from washington: although this has city written all over it, it's definitely efd-core.
	♥ 3:41pm prof.fuzz: metro EFD core
	🎸 ♥ 3:41pm Stevel: efd-core.
	🎸 ♥ 3:41pm efd: I think this gets grandfathered in to the '70s on the grounds that it takes a couple of years for each decade to find its footing, and this came out in 1981.
	♥ 3:42pm mariano: Bas NL: I watched the show because it took place in Shreveport, where my folks and I moved to for a few years, thinking "Maybe I'll recognize some buildings or one of the people," but then I was like "Holy shit, that's [name redacted]!" TimSF: Not as far as I know, and while we were never friends, we were always cool with each other, the kind of acquaintance you'd say "hi" to if you happened to see them in public. Really shocked me. She wasn't a wild child or anything like that. Just a normal student. Or so it seemed...
	3:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: efd would be the authority on that... Hasn't mentioned the City particularly... Not PowerPop - but can almost see that neighborhood from there... City all over it...there is some Brooce in it isn't there...
	3:44pm rich the greeb: P-Funk we’re fantastic last month at Central Park summer stage. I was working there so I got to see both sets!
	♥ 3:44pm Scott Williams: prof.fuzz, right you are! I went on memory b/c my glasses were over there. 1981
	♥ 3:44pm tim from washington: Although this song mentions butt and it rocks, it is definitely not Butt Rock,
	🎸 ♥ 3:44pm Alvy Singer: Free Your Mind is a mix of the Temptations, MC5 and Jimi Hendrix.
	🎸 ♥ 3:45pm Rev. Turnip Druid: who has carrot cake? good lord, i am LATE.
	3:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& Elevators with 'Kingdom of Heaven'...
	♥ 3:46pm prof.fuzz: @Tim: truth.
	🎸 ♥ 3:47pm steveo: My ass is enjoying this selection
	🎸 ♥ 3:50pm Alvy Singer: Bernie Worrell nailing it with the distorted keyboard.
	3:52pm carrots: oh snap!
	3:53pm Nicholas from Montclair: In reference to the Charles Albright track: If blown-out DI fuzz is your game, give Tiger in my Tank's "Cigarette Royalty" a listen.
	♥ 4:01pm tim from washington: No offense to Duane but this set is PURE FUNK!
	♥ 4:02pm Passaic River Blues: @Tim: same thoughts. Loving the funk!
	♥ 4:04pm Scott Williams: Thanks guys, I trust you are shaking your rumps some.
	4:06pm Jeff in Brooklyn: Hi Scott - great set! Work from home allows more than chair dancing!
	♥ 4:08pm Scott Williams: Thanks Jeff!
	♥ 4:08pm HyperDose: Well, those who have rumps to shake, Scott. I really gotta make squats & lunges part of my daily routine again. 😩
	♥ 4:10pm tim from washington: Even Feeding Tube is getting in on the funk!
	♥ 4:11pm Scott Williams: Rhyton has definitely been known to give up the funk
	🎸 ♥ 4:12pm Bas NL: Right on this by Rhyton!
	🎸 ♥ 4:17pm I k e: Well, I was definitely shaking my bulbous squid eating dough in a cotton sack!
	♥ 4:17pm tim from washington: Inspired and inspiring set!
	🎸 ♥ 4:19pm Bas NL: Sounds like a hard workout, @I k e!
	♥ 4:20pm Stanley: Stanley Stood Still. I'm good at that.
	4:20pm Si: This Musarrat track is glorious
	🎸 ♥ 4:21pm Bas NL: Great cover!
	♥ 4:22pm tim from washington: Hahahahahahahaha! Again inspired and inspiring!
	🎸 ♥ 4:22pm Krys O.: Extra nice segue!
	♥ 4:22pm Scott Williams: Hahaa, thanks Tim & Krys!
	♥ 4:23pm Roberto: I think Phil once said this was the first song Genesis recorded in an attempt to attract more women to their shows.
	♥ 4:23pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: I thought this was a Phil Collins song, not Genesis. Interesting, Roberto.
	♥ 4:23pm Roberto: He was growing tired of al the bro shows.
	🎸 ♥ 4:24pm steveo: 1978! Ahead of its time
	♥ 4:24pm Scott Williams: @Roberto, apropos of nothing it's the one that hooked me!
	4:24pm Jeremy: Instagram anthem?
	🎸 ♥ 4:24pm Krys O.: A juxtaposition of seeming incongruities, yet it flowed quite well.
	♥ 4:24pm Roberto: All, not Al. Although maybe too many people named Al showed up.
	🎸 ♥ 4:24pm Bas NL: My 7'' copy of Follow You Follow Me is played GREY.
	🎸 ♥ 4:24pm karlward: I hope we're going to hear some Phil Collins / Scott interview
	♥ 4:25pm Scott Williams: @karlward, that was one of the greats, huh?!
	🎸 ♥ 4:25pm karlward: It's the only Phil Collins content I can stand
	4:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Dispensable. Can't even chalk it up to their MTV period in '78.
	♥ 4:29pm Stanley: Hi Scott!
	♥ 4:29pm HyperDose: A terrifying picture to paint!
	4:29pm vj pussycat: mtv started in 81. hi y'all
	4:29pm judy from croton: You, Scott, are doing the absolute. Our daughter Maddy was married on Saturday, and I can’t tell you…
	4:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: vj - is why they can't even.
	4:31pm vj pussycat: i got that rr, sorry if it sounded like a correction
	🎸 ♥ 4:32pm pgalub: Hey Scott and everyone! I think who ever lost the "sus4 battle of 'follow you...'" got their way on "Invisible Touch." ;)
	4:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: vj - likewise then ! :D
	4:33pm judy from croton: Joy abounds
	♥ 4:33pm Nickelbackfan1000: Big shoutout to Scott and Joe and the Friday afternoon volunteer team! Oh yass!
	4:33pm vj pussycat: i enjoyed that deconstruction of fyfm chorus
	🎸 ♥ 4:34pm karlward: Scott's interview with Phil Fucking Collins here: www.wfmu.org...
	4:35pm mb: Rocking it. Glad i missed that Genesis. Little too soft for my Weds afternoon. But a fine selection nonethless.
	♥ 4:38pm Scott Williams: @Judy, congrats!!
	4:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Apologies - I'm a little allergic to a certain %age of Mainstream 70s & 80s... You see - I'm so old I actually had to live thru it. So I don't find it cutely ironic to dabble in when bored or anything like that. But nevermind.
	♥ 4:39pm Scott Williams: @Nickelbackfan1000 twas great to meet you guys! Looking forward to the next
	♥ 4:39pm Scott Williams: PETE!
	🎸 ♥ 4:40pm Baja Joe: Jammer? Yup, jammer.
	🎸 ♥ 4:40pm steveo: that must have been a good show, karl, because later on I made the comment "harp jam!"
	🎸 ♥ 4:41pm steveo: also, Birds of Maya: hot damn!
	🎸 ♥ 4:41pm Brian in UK: Hello Scott & groovers.
	🎸 ♥ 4:42pm JG: Sometimes I forget how much I love this show, but every Wednesday about an hour in , if I'm able to be listening, I realize that Scott is killing it. Today no exception
	🎸 ♥ 4:42pm karlward: I think this is a harp jam
	🎸 ♥ 4:42pm karlward: A round of Harp for everyone, on me!
	4:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: No one else playing this for me & that's for sure.
	♥ 4:43pm tim from washington: Did Birds of Maya get Mitch Mitchell to drum for them?
	4:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Birds of Maya' also an Elevators phrase (if no one else's)...
	🎸 ♥ 4:45pm Krys O.: I have catholic tastes and I'm not ashamed. I can appreciate post -Gabriel Genesis AND a song like Terror Couple Kill Colonel by Bauhaus. And so on.
	♥ 4:46pm Scott Williams: aww gee JG - danke!
	4:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Rule 1.) Never be ashamed of what you like. ...What you don't like - a little more complicated...
	♥ 4:47pm tim from washington: Man, you're on fire today, Scott!
	🎸 ♥ 4:48pm Rev. Turnip Druid: you should see someone about that.... that fire you're on. Sir.
	🎸 ♥ 4:48pm JG: It is certainly possible to occasionally hear something you've heard 10,000 times and were for a time bored with, and realize what you at first liked about it.
	4:49pm vj pussycat: syd <3
	🎸 ♥ 4:49pm JG: Pink Floyd! Yes!
	🎸 ♥ 4:50pm JG: Or is this THE Pink Floyd?
	4:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: JG good point. Goes with the admitting. Not Hitchcock actually Syd !!
	4:50pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Syd on his own was awesome.
	♥ 4:51pm Roberto: This is The Pink Floyd and THE Pink Floyd.
	4:51pm vj pussycat: pink floyd 1.0
	4:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oh - hot button stuff how much Waters & Gilmour helped or hindered Syd with his Solo recordings. Easy to armchair call about schizophrenic friends but I dunno... Coulda been presented as less haphazard is their suggestion...
	4:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Floyd certainly playing 'Vegetable Man' close to its chest that's clear...
	🎸 ♥ 5:00pm Rev. Turnip Druid: insanely great.
	🎸 ♥ 5:06pm JG: Some great music only sounds great or awesome on a good stereo. And you don't really get too much out of it on a shitty little speaker. Other great music sounds great no matter what or despite what you're listening on. Here, we get the former mostly. A theme of sorts of the Scott Williams Show, I think, and why I love it.
	🎸 ♥ 5:07pm JG: Wednesday afternoons go down easy, but they ain't casual
	5:08pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: This ambient stuff is easy to listen to compared to noise.
	5:10pm bukowski.: Damn!!! ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
	🎸 ♥ 5:20pm steveo: what about ambient noise, though, Neil? :)
	5:20pm prudy: talk about blast from the past...
	♥ 5:20pm mariano: Omg, I love this song from Godspell! There's a great YouTube vid of that scene from the movie. The movie's actually a great document of NYC in the 70s, it's shot in lots of places around the city.
	5:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Godspell - thot it was somewhere between Pro & Music of Mind Control...
	🎸 ♥ 5:21pm dale: bell records - i have a creepy anthony newley album on bell, 'for you.' kinda pornographic.
	5:21pm prudy: mariano, i'll have to check it out...
	🎸 ♥ 5:21pm dale: this is pretty stellar.
	5:23pm Jeff formerly from Rahway: This is my FAVORITE Buck Owens tune. Thanks for playing! It!
	🎸 ♥ 5:25pm dale: don rich was a big part of that sound.
	♥ 5:25pm Nickelbackfan1000: who would ever want to be found!
	5:28pm haha: "All for the Best" finale on WTC -- eerie
	5:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Buck & Don story : cocaineandrhinestones.com...
	🎸 ♥ 5:29pm Krys O.: Lynne Thigpen was the chief in Where in the World is Carmen San Diego show.
	🎸 ♥ 5:29pm steveo: just bookmarked godspell on the wtc at www.youtube.com...
	🎸 ♥ 5:32pm Krys O.: The cast of SCTV honed their chops in the Canadian touring company of Godspell.
	🎸 ♥ 5:32pm dale: they sure are dancing close to that railing that's only 18 inches tall.
	5:35pm Doug in JC: There was a short drop to another level, IIRC
	🎸 ♥ 5:35pm dale: if the moody blues had bagged the voice and just extended the opening which was the best part.
	5:37pm Androu B.: Hello everyone! @Krys O. Didn't they also consequently satirize it on their TV program?
	5:38pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Needles CA is insanely hot. Our AC died in our car. It will get up to 118 tomorrow! It reminds me of Ridgecrest, CA.
	🎸 ♥ 5:38pm dale: rev rab - thanks for the buck/don link.
	5:39pm Davis: wow
	♥ 5:40pm tim from washington: Wow, what if the synth songs on VH's 1984 were like that Blue Jean Tyranny song?
	🎸 ♥ 5:41pm Krys O.: I wanna bust some dance moves to this on Essex Avenue in Glen Ridge!
	🎸 ♥ 5:42pm Rev. Turnip Druid: I hate that van halen's synth was the OB-8. I had one and its sonic potential was HUGE. Love that machine. Shame it became famous for Jump... eh...
	🎸 ♥ 5:42pm Krys O.: Yes! I adore this L'Rain!
	5:43pm vj pussycat: @wild neil - are you in needles? that place is always insanely hot.
	5:44pm Androu B.: @Wild Neil Did you folks get shaken by the Ridgedale & Šearles Valley earthquakes from Independence Day weekend 2 years ago?
	🎸 ♥ 5:45pm steveo: Currently 122 in Death Valley. But it's a dry heat
	5:47pm ledzeppelinsucks: Who gives a shit if anything is a dry heat?
	♥ 5:48pm McGroovey: It's about 85 in Meridian, Mississippi. Very pleasant in the shade
	5:48pm Doug in JC: Because you can hardly feel it. It’s like a warm breath on your neck. Sweet and sensitive, dry heat.
	🎸 ♥ 5:48pm steveo: lol idk it's pretty humid in brooklyn at the moment
	♥ 5:49pm tim from washington: I get Return to Forever and Weather Report confused. I enjoyed that.
	🎸 ♥ 5:51pm Rev. Turnip Druid: the dry heat thing is real. it means in the shade, there's an actual difference. vs. swampland, where shade don't mean squat
	5:52pm Fredericks: This Snow Palms piece sounds like Kraftwerk, if the got really worked up.
	🎸 ♥ 5:52pm Rev. Turnip Druid: also: the confusion between RtF and Weather Report, if i'm not mistaken, is a universal thing. The one thing that all people have in common. Also, this piece here. THIS ONE. HERE.
	♥ 5:52pm McGroovey: When I was 4 and hadn't yet mastered my R's, i remember wondering why we have the same word for cow and car. No, really, I remember that. And the eureka moment that came later...
	🎸 ♥ 5:55pm Krys O.: Thank you, Scott!
	♥ 5:56pm maestroso: This Snow Palms piece is awesome.
	♥ 5:56pm Doobois: Oh, that was just beautiful, Scott. Snow Palms! Gorgeous, and it made me feel so good.
	♥ 5:56pm tim from washington: Maybe I should look at my Weather Report RTF conundrum differently. Is there a difference between the two? ;) Thanks a million for the great great great show today, Scott!
	5:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: If Minnie wasn't like the sweetest person ever ...maybe don't tell me.
	♥ 5:57pm Scott Williams: well that oughtta do it, thanks everyone! Have a great week, see ya next week!
	🎸 ♥ 5:57pm steveo: Instant classic awesome Scott show -- thanks for making it
	5:57pm Fredericks: Then Steve Reich and Popol Vuh showed up to help complete the piece. I must give it a star.
	♥ 5:57pm mariano: Thank you, Scott!
